The Berkeley MBA – Online Admissions Chat
September 18, 2007
Chat with the Haas MBA Admissions Committee
Peter Johnson -- Director of Admissions
Stephanie Fujii -- Senior Associate Director for MBA Admissions
Jeff_Moderator
Welcome to the Berkeley MBA chat. My name is Jeff and Lee and I will be moderating the chat today. I would like to introduce Peter Johnson, Director of Admissions and Stephanie Fujii, Associate Director. Please send us your questions!
Melissa
Could you please comment on the average class size, as well as the standard classroom format (i.e., primarily case format, lecture, etc)?
Pete_Berkeley
Melissa, Our average incoming class (all of the students starting in a given year) is 240; for the core courses, those students are split into cohort groups of approximately 60 each. The average size of the elective classes is 35 students. As for the format, although each professor is able to use the mix that she or he feels most appropriate, it tends to be 1/3 case study, 1/3 lecture, and 1/3 group or individual projects.
RaviMenon
Are GMAT scores averaged? Or is the highest score taken? Or is the highest of each section (Math, Verbal) considered?
Jeff_Moderator
The highest overall test score is the one that is taken.
Nikki
I have spent over 18 years in industry, I am concerned about the profile of a Haas student. I wish to start my own non-profit enterprise, and saw Haas as being the collaborative learning environment I was looking for. Will my age be an issue during the admissions stage?
Stephanie_Berkeley
We do not consider age in the application review process. Rather we are evaluating the quality of your work experience -- how have you impacted your organization, progressed over time, demonstrated leadership, etc. How your work experience aligns with your career goals. These are the areas that we're evaluating.
Pete_Berkeley
Our focus on "Leadership through Innovation" is quite unique, as are some of the special programs that support that focus, including the Haas@Work program (see our website for details) and the Peers@Haas program. The blend of industries located in our area have an influence on the program, and so our ties with the VC world, biotech, high tech, etc. are unique.
Angela
what is the average working experience the program requires?
Stephanie_Berkeley
The competitive range (middle 80%) for our current first year class is between 3 - 8 years of work experience. However we are not looking just at quantity -- we're really focusing on the quality and richness of your work experience.
Victor Mata
Hi, I'm Victor from Mexico, what is the minimum score in a GMAT to be accepted here?
Pete_Berkeley
Victor, there is no minimum GMAT score, and it would not vary by country. We encourage applicants to pay attention to the middle 80% range of our admitted candidates, which this past year was 660-760 for the GMAT.
geodesic
Can a candidate admitted to the full time MBA change over to a weekend / part time MBA after admission?
Stephanie_Berkeley
Students have been able to change programs however there is no guarantee. It depends on availability and you also have to go through an application process. There is a significant difference between the two programs and I would spend the time up front to determine which experience is best for you.
pankaj_sachdeva
How do I find out the profile of admitted Indian students, such as their undergrad major, average GMAT, work experience, industry etc?
Pete_Berkeley
Pankaj, we do not break down our profile of students by citizenship--that would not be a very meaningful exercise. This is especially true, since we have over 34 countries represented in each class, and the numbers from individual countries are small enough that the data wouldn't tell you much.
Nicole
Hi there. I have a question about the balance between core and elective courses. Do you find the balance to be a good one?
Stephanie_Berkeley
You may also want to switch to the student room to get their perspectives, but overall I would say there is a good balance -- 40% in the core and 60% electives. I actually graduated from the program in 2004 and was part of the first class to go through the revised the core curriculum that shifted the balance from the core to elective courses. You receive a strong foundation in the core classes but now have greater flexibility to delve deeper into any of the core areas while also specializing in a particular area of interest.
nicky484
Hello Pete, Could you tell me how Berkeley conduct interview in outside US country. I live in Thailand, Asia
Jeff_Moderator
Interviews are conducted all over the world, by Berkeley MBA alumni who have been trained by the Admissions Committee.
erikasnider
I currently work in TV news, and my degree is in political science. I am very interested in Haas -- particularly the International Business Development program and the Nonprofit and Public Management Program -- but I wanted to know: what advice would you have for those applying who do not have extensive studies in economics/mathematics? Does this automatically put you at a disadvantage in applying? Are there any classes you must have on your college transcript? Thank you.
Pete_Berkeley
Erika, we have admitted many students who a wide range of discipline areas in their undergraduate programs. We do look for evidence of quantitative proficiency, as you will definitely need solid skills in statistics and algebra to fare well in your core courses. To evaluate this, we look at your undergraduate course work and your GMAT quant sub-score. It is not necessary to have specific courses in econ or math before coming, as long as you can demonstrate quantitative proficiency. If you do not have a strong quant score and no quant courses in your academic history, then you may want to take a college-level statistics course to beef up your skills.
fountain
Is it more important to apply by Nov. 1, during early admission, or to score higher on the GMAT?
Pete_Berkeley
Fountain, it is most important to apply when you are ready to present a strong application. Your chances of admission in Round 1 are really not any different than Round 2, for example.
Raja
What is the median GMAT score ?
Jeff_Moderator
For the Fall 2007 class, the average GMAT is 710.
jimmy
The average incoming class size is significantly smaller than many other schools around the world. What is the reason for keeping it so small?
Pete_Berkeley
Jimmy, -- the reason our class size is small is because our program is designed that way. Our faculty want a favorable faculty-student ratio, and they want small classes. Our business school facility was even built to encourage this model, and we have few classrooms in the b-school that can hold more than 60 students, for example. Faculty value the opportunity to know all of their students and to have significant interaction with them, which is much more difficult to achieve with 900 students in each incoming class.
Matt
What's the number one mistake you think candidates make when applying?
Pete_Berkeley
Matt, the #1 mistake is writing an application that you think will impress the admissions committee. In other words, it is important to focus on presenting who you are and what is important to you, not what you think the admissions committee wants to read.
John Thorrington
What percentage of the curriculum is completed within the cohort groups of 60?
Pete_Berkeley
John, 40%. Sixty percent of the program consists of the elective courses that each student selects based on his or her career interests.
Bizz
How are reapplicants viewed (just in case...)?
Stephanie_Berkeley
Reapplicants are viewed neither favorably or unfavorably -- rather we will look at how your application has changed since you last applied. Have you strengthened your application (i.e, had an increase in responsibilities at work, improved your GMAT score, etc.)? How does this then compare to the current pool of candidates?
Stephanie_Berkeley
Yes, we have a certificate program in entrepreneurship ( although we don't have majors, we have certificates which are similar to minors in undergrad.)
jsmith
Congrats on your high ranking in the latest WSJ top business school ranking. What factors do you feel contributed to this years higher ranking?
Pete_Berkeley
Thanks, Jsmith! In terms of various rankings, including WSJ, a common thread has been that corporate recruiters have been very happy with the candidates they are getting from us--this has been a significant factor in most of the rankings.
Yasmina
Hi. What is the admittance percentage to your program ?
Jeff_Moderator
Our percentage this last year was around 14%.
SachinAgrawal
I have 2 years of full-time work experience, but several years of part-time work experience in the same family business. Does the admission committee take into consideration part-time work experience if it was at the same company?
Stephanie_Berkeley
Yes, we will look at all of your experiences, but focus mainly on your full-time post-undergraduate work experience which we can compare across all candidates.
HaasChatter#4
Looking at this year's class profile, around 80% of the class has an undergraduate degree in engineering/business/science/econ. vs. 6% humanities. As an English major, I'm a little concerned my degree won't be taken as seriously as someone who majored in engineering. I'd be interested to hear how you might dispel or confirm my concerns. Thanks!
Pete_Berkeley
Chatter#4, part of that is due to the fact that the number of English majors applying to any B-school is lower than the number of econ majors or engineers. We don't really have a preference for any particular undergraduate major. What is important to us is the professional experience, overall academic preparation, and leadership/team skills.
liza mirkovskaya
How much time per day does an average student spend preparing for the classes in a full-time MBA program?
Stephanie_Berkeley
It really depends -- core vs. electives, experience with the subject prior to b-school, study group work styles, etc. I would recommend joining the Student Chat Room and asking them how much they spent preparing for the core vs. electives.
Elad Ganot
Is there a way to correct mistakes in the online application procedure? Mainly if on of the recommenders made an error?
Jeff_Moderator
Not if your application or recommendation has already been submitted. You, or in this case your recommender, should contact our office directly: 510-642-1405
Pete_Berkeley
Bizz, we have very strong relationships with most of the significant companies in the Bay Area, including tech companies, VC firms, biotech firms, and others. Our success in preparing our students for summer internships and post-MBA positions is one of our key strengths. We provide more detail about our employment data than you probably care about--visit http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/groups/careercenter/employment_reports.html.
SV
Hi. I wanted to know the average work experience that students have, and if an applicant has less than that, how do you assess them (i.e. what other qualifications would you take into account?)
Jeff_Moderator
On average, applicants last year had 5 years work experience. Most applications have at least 2 years experience in order to be competitive.
jimmy
What would you say are the top 3 qualities that you look for in a potential candidate?
Stephanie_Berkeley
If only it were that simple....we're evaluating applicants in three main areas: academic performance, professional accomplishments and personal qualities. We select those candidates who can succeed academically in our program, who have substantive experiences to contribute inside and outside of the classroom and who we believe will be a good fit with our program. If you haven't already, I would recommend listening to our podcast on admissions tips. We talk about each of these areas and what we're looking for when we review applications.
MLiu
The last figures I read for incoming class size was around 500 full time students - is this still the case for 2008 admissions?
Jeff_Moderator
Incoming class size is 240. There is no planned change.
Pete_Berkeley
Humpteed...sorry..please see http://mba.haas.berkeley.edu/community_02.html
LM
What are the main types of work people do after graduating from HAAS and their Average Salaries?
Pete_Berkeley
Leandro, there are a variety of industries and positions. Typically, the three largest industry areas by percentage are financial services, technology, and consulting. You can see the exact data at http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/groups/careercenter/employment_reports.html. (This is for the graduating class of May 2006; the May 07 data will appear online in early October).
MeredithY
Do most of your graduates stay on the West Coast?
Stephanie_Berkeley
We do have a good number of graduates who stay on the West Coast -- this is because we have many people who apply to our program who want to be in the Bay Area and West Coast after business school. We also have a good number of alums in major cities all over the world.
Cheng
Does the state of residence affect the admission decision?
Jeff_Moderator
No, it does not.
NW
Do you have any special advice for candidates that are a year away from the application process?
Pete_Berkeley
NW, I would make good use of the extra time to really research the programs that you are interested in to narrow down your target schools; I would also get all of the "standard" things (GMAT, etc) out of the way early.
Shar0nC
Do admissions officers treat in-state, out-of-state, and international applicants differently?
Pete_Berkeley
SharonC, no--the only significant difference is that we look carefully at English proficiency of non-native speakers, whether they live in other countries or in the US.
Matt
What sort of qualities do you think will allow a student to succeed at Berkeley?
Stephanie_Berkeley
If you haven't already, I would recommend listening to our Admissions podcast on our website -- we discuss each area of the application and what we're looking for. Basically, we are looking for candidates who will succeed academically in our program, candidates with diverse backgrounds who will contribute to the program both in terms of their personal and professional accomplishments and experiences, and candidates who have demonstrated leadership, collaboration and innovation as these are key elements of our program.
Jeff_Moderator
Median age for Fall 2007 entry was 28, the range was from 23-40.
Ryan Baker
In regards to the two letters of recommendation, I will provide one from a current supervisor; should the second one come from another coworker or a client, which is preferred?
Stephanie_Berkeley
For letters of recommendation, we're looking for individuals who have worked closely with you and can provide specific examples. It also helps if the person has supervised you (perhaps not a direct manager but a senior colleague) as they will be able to better compare you to your peers and discuss your impact on the organization from a higher level.
Gaurav Sharma_India
Could you help us with few stats here...primarily numbers of application vs interview offer extended vs final offers.
Pete_Berkeley
Gaurav, there are no fixed numbers at work here (at least not for the interviews); in an average year, we will invite 25-30% of our applicants to interview. Our overall admit rate (% of applicants admitted) tends to be in the 14-17% range.
Raja
Do you have any alumni association in Singapore? How do I get in touch ?
Jeff_Moderator
You should check out our website at http://mba.haas.berkeley.edu/after_haas_04.html and http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/groups/alumni/index.html.
JoseMartins
Second question about Recommendation letters: is it a disadvantage to have two recommendation letters from the same company (different people)? Or is it better to try and find letters from different companies you have worked for?
Pete_Berkeley
Jose, no, it's not a disadvantage.
ArgusEyed
What are some of the mistakes that applicants make?
Stephanie_Berkeley
Underestimating the time involved in putting together a strong application! If you haven't already, I'd listen to the podcast on admissions tips on our website -- we talk about some of the do's and don'ts in the application process. The two biggest mistakes I see in essays are typos and picking a topic based on what people think is the "right" answer for business school. There is no right answer -- schools use the essays to get to know you as a person, so take the opportunity to be yourself!
RomuloQueiroz
In Jett Pihakis pod cast, he states that our GMAT grade is analyzed in conjunction with our undergrad grades. However, if I do not have a very good GPA for the quantitative part of my degree, what is considered to be a good GMAT grade for the quantitative part in order to be admitted? Do my professional background on the use of math in a financial department count on the admission process?
Pete_Berkeley
Romulo, your use of math in a professional setting is considered in our review of your quantitative skills, but it is more difficult to measure, of course. If an applicant has a quant sub-score in the 80th percentile or higher, that would ease any concern we might have.
vignesh41
Hi, I just joined the chat session now, so I'm not sure if my question has been asked before. I'm a legal resident of California for the last 3.5 years (H1B work visa, paying taxes, etc). I'd like to know if the In-state tuition would be waived for me. Thanks.
Jeff_Moderator
More information on residency can be found here: http://mba.haas.berkeley.edu/finaid_01.html
geodesic
What does the adcom look for when going through a list of uniformly superlative applications? What makes or breaks the deal?
Pete_Berkeley
Geodesic, there is no single answer to that question. We are looking for solid academic preparation, good professional experience, solid communication skills, leadership skills and potential, etc.
Alexis
Is an applicant at a disadvantage if his/her undergraduate major was not geared toward business?
Jeff_Moderator
Not at all, we have admitted students from a number of different disciplines.
RaviMenon
Is it true that Berkeley generally evaluates applicants during their initial screening? In other words, if your GPA and combined GMAT score, considered together by whatever formula the school uses, falls below a certain level, the school rejects your application without considering other factors?
Pete_Berkeley
Ravi, that is not true. At least two of us read every application submitted, regardless of the statistical measurements, and there is no formula.
Chris Biedrzycki
Hi. I'd like to visit campus and spend some time at Haas without doing a whirlwind "breeze into town, rush to a class, get back on a plane, etc". If I were to visit, is there a way to attend more than one class, shadow a student for more than an hour or two, etc? I'm not saying I have unlimited time away from work, but I would like to get a better feel of what it is like to be a Haas student.
Jeff_Moderator
Because of the high demand, we can't offer more than a single class visit, however, there are a number of ways to experience Haas. Check out our visitation pages for more info on our Information Sessions, lunch with a student and you can also email to our Haas Student Ambassadors for more information.
Stephanie_Berkeley
If you happen to be in a city where we'll be conducting an information session I'd highly recommend attending as we spend considerable time talking about this. If not (unfortunately we're unable to visit every major city!), I'd reach out to current students in the programs you're interested in. Many programs sound the same in print or on the web -- but in talking to current students you learn more about the culture of the program and the people who could be part of your network. Briefly, what makes Berkeley unique is our connection to UC Berkeley, our location in the midst of many industries, our small, collaborative culture, socially-responsible students, and our focus on leading through innovation. We have many top-ranked specialties, of which, management of technology is just one. Many of our students are going into finance, consulting, real estate, healthcare/biotech, CPG/retail, etc.
Alexis
Hi. Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean by quality and richness of work experience? Is the industry a key factor?
Stephanie_Berkeley
If you haven't already I would listen to the Admissions tips podcast on our website as we discuss each area of the application and what we're looking for. We do look at industry and function as we want to make sure that we have a diversity of professional experiences and backgrounds in each class. By quality and richness, I'm referring to the impact you've made on your organization, how have you demonstrated leadership, have you progressed over time?, etc.
B_Ellis
I have heard of MBA programs breaking up GMAT scores between US and international students. Does Berkeley break out their GMAT in this fashion, or are all scores weighed against one another, regardless of country of origin?
Pete_Berkeley
BEllis, we do not break down scores in this way. Although we do consider the fact that non-native speakers of English do not generally score as well on the verbal portion of the GMAT, there is no significant "handicapping"--everyone is viewed in a similar manner.
Jeff_Moderator
Interviews are by invitation only. Those invited will be paired up with a trained Haas MBA alum in their area who works with our admissions office.
Vancouver_Rich
Does Berkeley have to comply with state-set quotas for the number of applicants from California admitted? I'm from Canada, and I'm wondering if I have to battle through this or other quotas.
Jeff_Moderator
No there are no quotas from the state or elsewhere that affect our admissions process.
Pete_Berkeley
In the core courses, all students are together. Please note, however, that students with a particularly strong background in core topics (whether it's microeconomics or finance) have the opportunity to take a challenge exam to waive the core course, which allows them to substitute an elective course--perhaps a finance elective.
RaviMenon
How much does the AWA score count towards your application?
Pete_Berkeley
Ravi, we do not have a formal "weighting" process. We do consider the AWA, and we often read the AWA essay as well.
Jeff_Moderator
The Round 1 deadline for applications is November 5!
silversky
Can one get feedback after the application review process, regardless of the outcome? Granted, it would be extremely beneficial if the outcome is negative.
Pete_Berkeley
Silversky, not exactly. We provide an opportunity during the summer months for any unsuccessful applicant who had an interview to get feedback from a member of the admissions committee. Due to volume, we are unable to provide that service to applicants who did not make it to the interview stage.
Melissa
Can you please highlight any opportunities at Haas to study and/or intern abroad?
Stephanie_Berkeley
We have the International Business Development Program which is an elective course that students apply for in the Fall of their first semester. You can find more information about this (countries, past projects, student and client testimonials, etc.) on the Clausen Center's website. We also have a typical fall semester exchange program with several universities in Europe and Asia.
b
Is this scenario possible ? I apply to part-time MBA get accepted and then apply to full-time? The only restriction I've heard is that you cannot have two simultaneous applications pending?
Jeff_Moderator
No, this is not a good scenario. In very limited occasions students have been known to transfer, but it is only after a year of study, and due to extra special circumstances.
Pete_Berkeley
The average GPA for this year's incoming class was 3.57. We don't formally "weight" the undergrad institutions (nor would it be very feasible to do so), but we do consider academic results based on our knowledge of their rigor, grading practices, etc. of the institutions attended.
jsmith
Are incoming students able to test out of courses such as accounting if they have an undergraduate degree in that major?
Stephanie_Berkeley
Yes. We offer waiver exams for half of the core classes, including accounting. These exams are offered the week before classes begin.
Stephanie_Berkeley
We are a general management program and do not offer majors -- however many students focus in finance. With 60% of the curriculum composed of electives, you're able to shape your own course of study.
NYC
How different is the health care program in Haas compared to other healthcare initiatives
Stephanie_Berkeley
We have an integrated dual degree program with the School of Public Health. We have a podcast on this program on our website. You could also email our Haas Student Ambassadors (hsa@haas.berkeley.edu) as we have a couple of ambassadors who are in the dual degree program who can talk to you about their experiences.
Pete_Berkeley
Kaiser, in those two specialization areas, I do believe we have very strong programs. In fact, there is a limited number of MBA programs that offer specializations in theses areas at all. These are both areas in which we have received good press. In CSR, our program is groundbreaking in terms of the projects students have access to, the research, and the industry connections. (In fact, see today's Wall Street Journal for a nice interview with the program director); for healthcare, I think our partnership with the School of Public Health here at Berkeley and our industry partnerships in the Biotech, Pharma, Medical Device, and healthcare consulting industry provide our students with opportunities that few MBA programs can match.
Lorenzo2
Pete, as Italian entrepreneur, I am very interested in the strong entrepreneurial focus of Berkeley. Do you receive many applications from entrepreneurs or could such status be a source of diversity in the program?
Pete_Berkeley
Lorenzo, we do receive many applications from individuals with entrepreneurial experience and goals. The majority of these tend to be from entrepreneurs in the US; your experience as an entrepreneur in Europe would certainly bring a different perspective.
Stephanie_Berkeley
We have many students who are changing careers. We're looking at how feasible the transition is based on your work experience to date (transferable skills, etc.) and what you hope to gain from an MBA program. How well can you articulate how you will make this change and why you feel you will be successful?
Pete_Berkeley
PAro, not true. At the undergraduate level, Berkeley has a quota for California residents. At the graduate level, our goal is to bring the best candidates, regardless of where they come from. California residents are rarely more than 30% of the incoming class at most.
Stephanie_Berkeley
Yes. These are candidates who we would place on the waitlist -- (waitlisted candidates are still strong candidates who we are seriously considering). We review the waitlist after every round.
Jeff_Moderator
Thank you everyone again for your questions. No additional questions will be forwarded for response, however, there are a number of questions still in the cue to be answered.
Stephanie_Berkeley
You should always look ate the competitive range, or middle 80%, instead of the average. For the GMAT this would be 660-760. The GMAT is only one piece of the application though, and we are also looking at undergraduate performance, work experience, personal qualities, etc. Check out the Admissions podcast on our website where we talk about how we evaluate applications.
bas
If I take the GMAT more than once, will the highest score in each section count?
Jeff_Moderator
I’m afraid not, we take the highest overall score and use that test.
Presley
If someone has average quant scores on the GMAT (70 percentile) and average math grades in undergrad, do you have any suggestions on how he/ she may improve his candidacy?
Stephanie_Berkeley
If applicants feel that there quantitative preparation isn't as strong as it could be, we often recommend enrolling in a calculus or statistics course.
rd
does Berkeley accept self reported transcripts during the application process?
Jeff_Moderator
No we do not, we require official transcripts (hard copy) from the schools.
khungate
How would you weight the admissions process in terms of importance? Can you give a % out of a 100 i.e. work experience 10%, academic prep. 40% etc., etc.
Stephanie_Berkeley
If only we had a formula! I would listen to our podcast on admissions tips. We talk about what we're looking for in each area of the application. It is truly a holistic process as our students must be able to succeed academically, contribute to the program inside and outside of the classroom, etc.
B_Ellis
Does the admissions committee accept a certain number of engineers, consultants, etc per class? In other words, are their limits to certain undergraduate degrees you will accept into the program each year? And do their career goals affect these limits?
Stephanie_Berkeley
We do not have any quotas. While we certainly would like to enroll as diverse a class as possible, the quality of professional experience and academic performance are much more important. Career goals are taken into account as we evaluate feasibility of goals in light of work experience to date. Many applicants are career switchers, so what we're looking for are the transferable skills and experiences and the candidate's understanding of how to make the transition.
Gaurav Sharma_India
Is there a possibility of meeting an alumni in our country/city.........if yes ? how
Stephanie_Berkeley
At this point in the process, the main way to meet an alum is if we're holding an information session in your area. You can see where we'll be traveling on our website. Should you be invited to interview, that would be the next point that you would have an opportunity to meet an alum.
jsmith
I live in NY and I read that Berkeley has a Career center staff member in New York. Is this person focusing exclusively to build relationships within the financial industry or is he/she working to establish relationships with other industries such as media/entertainment, fashion, CPG etc.
Pete_Berkeley
Jsmith, our career services representative in NY has been primarily focused on financial services, but has developed some relationships in other industries.
Bhupesh
What's your take on the issue of the amount of work experience a candidate should have? I was reading an interview by Hank Chesbrough (Executive Director of the Center for Open Innovation and Adjunct Professor at Haas Business School) and it seemed as if he preferred people with less experience as they tend to ask questions that are "much more insightful than one asked by a veteran that knows it cannot work"
Pete_Berkeley
Bhupesh, it is rare that we see candidates with less than two years of experience who have enough professional background to be competitive. Otherwise, I have seen candidates with two years of amazing experience and others with 8 years of mediocre experience, so it's a very individual thing.
nsgm08
As economists are predicting downturn, are you experiencing your recruiters going slow on campus or number of recruits?
Pete_Berkeley
Nsgm, it's hard to tell at this point. We have not seen any perceptible changes in on-campus recruiter activity at this point.
bas
I graduated with degrees in Bio and Psych, so my work experience is mainly Research based. Does that hurt me much?
Pete_Berkeley
Not on the surface, but as with all jobs, it is important to explain how this experience ties in with your career goals and how it has helped to prepare you. Also, candidates with research-focused experience may have a harder time demonstrating leadership skills.
Jeff_Moderator
Hi all! Thank you for joining us. The chat is wrapping up. We appreciate you questions. Please check back on our website within the next two weeks for transcripts of today’s chat and information on future chat dates. Go Bears!
